- Description: This burial was one of four forming the criminals’ cemetery. It was located outside the gallows. The outline of the grave pit was poorly visible, approximately oval in plan, measuring 1.5 × 0.39 m. It was aligned parallel to the southern wall. To the west lay grave no. 1/2C/2018, and to the north grave no. 1/2/2018. The skeleton was laid on its back in an extended position along the east–west axis, with the upper part of the body oriented westward. The skull was missing. The left upper limb was slightly bent at the elbow joint, with the hand bones placed on the pelvis. The left lower limb is straight. The skeleton was incomplete, the right upper limb was missing except for the finger bones placed on the pelvis, the right lower limb was absent, as well as the foot bones of the left leg. These missing bones are the result of the burial pit being disturbed by a later excavation. The skull had been deposited elsewhere, either inside the gallows structure or in an unidentified pit. The grave contained the remains of a person executed by beheading.
